hi, i had this problem of response delay time for alt-tab and ctrl-alt-del function. i tested it with ff4 for a few days and then downgrade to ff3.6, and to my amaze it is ff4 that is causing this.

when i started using ff4 for a long period of hours, and when i'd need to close a certain process in the task manager, after pressing ctrl-alt-del to get there, ill get a blank screen for 4secs before the task manager is out, its the same for alt-tab between other programs, i'm sure the culprit is ff4 as ff3.6 isn't giving me any similar problem like ff4.

Search all files and folders including hidden files for places.sqlite and rename it to places.sqlite2 . Restart firefox and be amazed at the speed.
